After a devastating attack on British Intelligence, Johnny English, the world’s most over-confident and inept agent, becomes MI7’s top man on a quest to stop an evil French industrialist from enacting his terrible plans for Britain.
Rowan Atkinson, known globally as “Mr. Bean” and in the UK for TV shows ‘Not the Nine O’Clock News’ and ‘Blackadder’, transforms his bumbling spy character originally seen in a credit card advert, into Britain’s greatest hope in this silly but entertaining “Bond” spoof that takes advantage of both his acting ability and unique look.
Subverting the “Gentleman Spy” concept and championing the “best of Britain”, after all the bad guy is a Frenchman arrogantly played by John Malkovich, ‘Johnny English’ is silly funny fun for the whole family.
Directed by Peter Howitt and starring Rowan Atkinson, John Malkovich and Ben Miller among others.
#TriviaTuesday: A cost-cutting insect-like suit was the early design for the alien hunter in 1987's 'Predator'—unsuccessfully worn by the character's first actor Jean-Claude Van Damme—but it was ditched for a now iconic Stan Winston design at twice the price. Money well spent. pic.twitter.com/pvbTmpgUIB
